COOKING UTENSIL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 711,841, dated Dctober21 ,L n nf Application filed May 15, 1902. Serial No. 107,403. (Nomodel.)

To @ZZ whom, t may concern/.-

Beit known that I, JAMES F. FERRY, a citizen of the United States, and aresident' of Leadville, in the county of Lake and State of Colorado,have invented a new and Improved Cooking Utensil, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in casings for holding cookingutensils-such as kettles, frying-pans, or the like--the object being toprovide a simple means for conducting the odors of the cooking food intothe stove.

I will describe a cooking` utensil embodying my invention and then pointout the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a sectional elevation of a casing embodying myinvention andshowing akettle or pot therein. Fig. 2 is an elevation, partly insection, of the casing. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.Fig. 4 is a section showing the device as adapted for a fryingpan, andFig. 5 is a fragmentary view showing a modification.

Referring to the drawings, 5 designates the casing, of any suitablemetal, open at the bottom and having a cover 6. This casing is designedto receive a kettle or pot 7, which is placed over the opening in thestove-top 8. Extended inward at the bottom of the casing 5 are lugs 9,on which the cooking vessel is designed to rest, raising the sameslightly above the top of the stove, so that fumes may pass underneaththe same and through the lidopening of the stove.

In Figs. l, 2, and 3 I have shown the lugs 9 as extended from a band 10,secured to the bottom of the casing at the outer side. In

Fig. 5, however, I have shown a lug 11 secured directly to the bottom ortne casing at the outer side. In either event the bottom edge of thecasing will be provided with recesses l0a to receive the lugs, so thatthe extreme bottom edge of the casing will be on a plane with the lowersides of the lugs, thus permitting the teasing to rest snugly on thestove-top.

In4 Fig. 4 I have shown a casing 12, that is in most respects similar tothe casing first described. It is, however, much shorter, as it is onlydesigned to receive a frying-pan 13. At one side the casing 12 has anopening 14, through which the handle of the frying-pan may pass.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. -In a cooking utensil, a casing adapted to receivea cooking vessel, a cover for said casing and entirely closing the topthereof, the casing being open at the bottom, and lugs extended inwardat the bottom and secured to the outer side-of the casing, the lowersurfaces of said lugs being on a plane with the bottom edgeof thecasing, substantially as specified.

2. In a cooking utensil, a casing adapted to receive a cooking utensil,said casing being open at thebottom, a cover for the casing andcompletely closing the top thereof, a ring secured to the outer side ofthe casing at the bottom, and lugs extended inward from said ring, thebottom edge of the casing being provided with recesses to receive saidlugs, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses. V

JAMES F. FERRY.
